LOL.  Everybody eventually hits the "q" button and doesn't know what they
did, I think.  I know I did at one point...

That said, it /is/ documented, in the menu system at least, only it's
something a lot of folks won't use until they hit it accidentally, and
then they don't know what they did! =8^(

See that entry under View > Body pane > Mute quoted text?  See the "Q"
beside it?  Guess what it does!  =8^)

While you are there, you might want to try the other entries if you
haven't, at least the ones with keyboard shortcuts, to see what they do,
just in case, and because you never know, the function could be handy to
toggle deliberately on occasion.  =8^)
